HW77 @ 50

50 yards....iron sights....pretty good shooting.

Iron sights!! Not too shabby. Would love to see a scoped group

Dang Dude! That's awesome shooting for open sights at 50 yards. I'm not to sure that I could even see the target over open sights at 50 yards. Great job!

Awesome group for irons at fifty. Nice job

Impressive. You must have a Bionic eye. Crow

Not bad.... Not bad at all...

My wife has a lens in her eye. Misses nothing but needs good light. Crow

Not sure if I could do any better with any of my scopes,

Mayby, maybe not? But the thing is you see you dont really need optics or plat the springer scope chase or the cost of that.. also unscooed the gun holdd up and lasts longer / may see higher shot counts on a spring , i dont need to slop on the loctite to keep screws in the gun, ect.. it's now rare if and all i scope mine. Of course there good open sight shooters to start with. Then eay back the lesson was never buy a gun that is a scope only set up/ one that dont have sights on it .. then even if you scoped it and it goes bad ,well you got a gun you can still shoot and enjoy without one.. (opinion).

Why your 77 id way prefer over a 97. Yours can do this where it cant.. thats a big plus in my book.

Very nice group! Any rodents in the area must be very nervous.

Mine are 65, but like I said the new lenses helped a bunch

My problem is that I use "cheaters" to see up close, but beyond about a foot or so, I don't need glasses. I can still read a 20/20 line on an eye chart, but man does that rear sight look fuzzy!

For run of the mill 50+ y shooting or a bit windy just to shoot i like to use Copenhagen can lids and pellet tins painted black on white cardboard.

Its easy on my poor old eyes ..lol
On irons you should keep them all in at 50 on that snuff can lid. Anyway gives a good aim point vs ???. Heck may as well get s bit more use out of them before going in the trash can ,

I got my HW 77 back in action after the spring broke. Bought a Vortec kit and View attachment 298996tuned it myself,

I bought my 25mm 97 in 1998 and shot it stock until 2015. I put a Vortek kit in it and it remains the most accurate air rifle I own. I beleive my TX 200 will probably keep up with it, just not in my hands. Good shooting!CF
